Three Clues - Who Am I?

[notbobsmith]

Are you in Codename: Iceman?

The "Is there a sequel" makes me think of Codename: Phoenix
And the Important - sort of, can be a specific item needed/wanted near the beginning of the game.

The second clue, I can't piece together if I am right.

No, not in Codename: Iceman.

I've never even heard of Codename: Phoenix. When I googled it, I only found a telemovie from the year 2000.

These clues also mean nothing to me.

Are you in a "Quest" game?

No, no "Quest" in the title.

(Codename: Phoenix was a proposed sequel to Codename: Iceman. I remember it being mentioned in Interaction Magazine. It's unclear how far it actually got in development. https://policequest.fandom.com/wiki/Codename:_Phoenix)

Does the game you're in take place on earth (either mostly or wholly)?

Yup, thought that was your clever clue to say it was Codename: Iceman. Because that'd take some very specific knowledge to recall that.

So not in a Quest game.

Are you in a Dynamix game (such as Heart of China)?

No

No

No

Thank gawd for that. (Not that there's anything wrong with Dynamix games, I just never got very far in them ... and completely gave up on some of them, like Willy Beamish). *shudder*

Not a quest game, but not on earth. Hmm. Are you in Torin's Passage?

[Tawmis]

OooOo.

Al Lowe had planned a sequel to Torin's Passage as well.

So that makes sense.

Going to go based on that.

Are you on a screen where there are more than Torin and Boogle (as characters) visible?

No, not in Torin's Passage.

The "sequel" clue is a little more abstract than that.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm. This can't be a GK game, since it's not set on earth. Groan. Not Lighthouse or the horror games (Shivers / Phantasmagoria etc.), for the same reason.

Are you in one of the Manhunter games? I know those are on earth, but it's an earth that never existed, so I guess that sort of counts as "non-earth".

No, not Manhunter.

[BBP]

Are you in Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh?

[notbobsmith]

Are you in Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh?

No. Remember, not on Earth.

[Rath Darkblade]

Oh hey, BBP! Welcome!

Groan. This is going to be one of the less famous games, isn't it? I can tell.

Are you in one of the black-and-white proto games from the 80s (like Mystery House)? They're not set on earth, AFAIK.

No

[Tawmis]

Okay.. guess away:

Important... sort of
It should have started with me
Is there a sequel?

Are you in the Black Cauldron?

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you in Lighthouse?
